En Primera Fila (Front Row) is the third live album by Venezuelan recording artist Franco De Vita. It was released by Sony Music on May 31, 2011, after a three-year gap since the release of De Vita's last studio album. De Vita worked as producer with David Cabrera. The album is part of the live albums series entitled Primera Fila, promoted by the record label and including De Vita's greatest hits on re-worked versions and new songs.

Contents

The album features collaborations by several performers, including Leonel García, Alejandra Guzmán, Debi Nova, Gilberto Santa Rosa, and Noel Schajris, among others. En Primera Fila entered the top five in Mexico and the United States. The first single, "Tan Sólo Tú", performed by De Vita and Guzmán, reached Top 20 at the Billboard Top Latin Songs. Francamente, a DVD documentary about the recording sessions, is included on the standard edition of the album. De Vita was awarded the Best Male Pop Vocal Album at the 12th Latin Grammy Awards for En Primera Fila. [2]

Background

After selling 12 million copies of his albums and composing for various artists, including Ricky Martin and Chayanne, Franco De Vita recorded En Primera Fila as a part of the concert series promoted by the label Sony Music entitled Primera Fila, which has a concept of record live performances by Latin American performers before a small audience in an intimate setting, resemblant to MTV Unplugged . [3] [4] About Primera Fila De Vita said, "The project was good for me, since I wanted to refresh many songs, some of them composed and recorded 25 years ago to incorporate a current sound and change some things. But the songs remains the same." [4] De Vita became the fourth performer to record under this format, following Vicente Fernández, Thalía, and OV7. [3] The album is De Vita's third live album, following En Vivo Marzo 16 (1992) and Mil y Una Historias en Vivo (2006). [5] [6]

Development

En Primera Fila was recorded from January 20–21, 2011, at the Comtel Studios in Miami, Florida, United States. [1] De Vita was supported by a band of 15 members and was joined on stage by a handful of guest performers. Colombian singer-songwriter Santiago Cruz helped with the song "Cálido y Frío", Gilberto Santa Rosa added vocals to "Te Veo Venir Soledad", Soledad Pastorutti performed on "No Se Olvida", Alejandra Guzmán on "Tan Sólo Tú", and Debi Nova on "Si Quieres Decir Adiós". [4] For the track "Si La Ves", De Vita was accompanied by the members of the dissolved band Sin Bandera, Leonel García and Noel Schajris, who performed on the original version of the song. [4] "I tried to give to the songs a different look, dress them differently. I did not change the lyrics or the melody, only the instrumental part," De Vita recalled about the recording session. [3] According to De Vita, Guzmán had the most complicated song on the album, the lead single. De Vita and Guzmán recorded the track twice, with Guzmán standing beside De Vita's piano. [3] For "Te Veo Venir Soledad", De Vita and Santa Rosa tried to play a guajira , in order to Santa Rosa to improvise. [7] The singer tried to keep the musical arrangements fresh and modern, without changing the songs too much. "I did not wanted people to feel that the songs were changed," De Vita declared. [3]

Repertoire

About the songs to be included on the album, De Vita revealed that his idea was to include well-known songs that were more than three years old and refresh them with new arrangements. [3] "The first challenge was to choose the songs, and the second to make that sound different... but not too much", [3] De Vita said. Sixteen previous songs by the singer are included: "Un Buen Perdedor", from his debut album of 1984; [8] and "Aquí Estás Otra Vez", from Fantasía (1986); [9] "Louis" and "Te Amo", from Al Norte del Sur (1989); [10] "No Basta", the lead single from Extranjero (1990); [11] "Y Te Pienso" and "Cálido y Frío", from Voces a mi Alrededor (1993); [12] "Si Quieres Decir Adios" and the title track from the 1993 album Fuera de Este Mundo ; [13] and "Si Tú No Estás" and "Te Veo Venir Soledad", selected from Nada es Igual (1999). [14] The most represented album on the setlist is Stop (2005) with four songs: "Si La Ves", "Dónde Está el Amor", "No Me Lástimes", and "Tú de Qué Vas". [15] "No Se Olvida" is the only song selected from the 2008 album Simplemente La Verdad . [16] Two songs were previously unreleased. De Vita chose Mexican singer Alejandra Guzmán to record the lead single "Tan Sólo Tú", since he thought she was "perfect" for the song. [3] "Mira Más Allá" is the other new song included. [3] De Vita also stated his intention to record a sequel to Primera Fila; since many songs in his repertoire were left out, "I would like to include Shakira on a ballad... Ricky Martin was considered for this album too, but could not make it in time." [17] Two years later, Vuelve en Primera Fila was announced to be the follow-up album which was released on November 12, 2013 in Latin America. [18]
